The Walking Dead, just as the term suggests is a top American TV series that is mainly based on a comic book that carries the same name. The book was written by Tony Moore, Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard and first developed for TV by Darabont Frank. It first premiered on cable TV network AMC on the 31st of October 2010. The series mainly focuses on one Rick Grimes, a Sheriff Deputy who was put in a coma after he was shot. He wakes up only to find himself in a very dangerous new world which had been overrun by walkers. He then joins a group of survivors who include his son and wife as they all try to survive in another world among the living dead.

As of the 31st of March, 2013, a total of 35 episodes of Walking Dead had been aired already. This is what marked the end of the third season. So how were the first three seasons like? Let us have a recap of that here:

Season 1

The first season of the Walking Dead premiered on the 31st of October 2010 and ran up to the 5th of December the same year on cable TV network AMC.
